[edit] Tips

• Plan early. The most popular times to travel fill-up very quickly. Everyone goes on holiday at the same time in Japan (e.g. Golden Week, New Years, etc.)
• Be flexible. The further your departure date is from a public holiday, the cheaper.
• Do some research. Not all travel agents book for every airline.
• Don't double book. It doesn’t help your chances, and it only angers your travel agents. If you have access to the Internet, try shopping around by e-mailing various agents with your destination, preferred airline and departure dates. They will usually get back to you in a few days. You can then make a booking with the agent who offers you the cheapest ticket. E-mail addresses can be found in the Flea Market, Kansai Time Out or Kansai Scene.
• Pay in cash. Japan is a cash economy. Credit cards are seldom accepted, and often incur a 5% surcharge. With some travel agents you can arrange to pay via bank transfer.
• Ask for a discount. Some travel agents give JETs a discount.
